J. E. COTES Breathlessness is one of a number of symptoms which may limit exercise; it usually does so when the ventilation during exercise approaches a maximal value which is determined by interaction between the drive to respiration and the mechanical properties of the lung. Assessment is based in the first instance on the clinical interview and simple measurements of lung function. Depending...

In recent years a number of authors have considered an error analysis for quadrature rules of Newton-Cotes type. In particular, the mid-point, trapezoid and Simpson rules have been investigated more recently ([2], [4], [5], [6], [11]) with the view of obtaining bounds on the quadrature rule in terms of a variety of norms involving, at most, the first derivative. In the mentioned papers explicit...

In the present work we have studied superconvergence of Hadamard finite-part integral. We have studied the second-order and the third-order quadrature formulae of Newton-Cotes type. We follow works [Sun, Wu, 2005b], [Lü, Wu, 2005] and work [Wu, Yu and Zhang, 2009] and introduce new rule which gives the same convergence rate as rules in [Lü and Wu, 2005] and [Wu, Yu and Zhang, 2009] but in more ...

The valuation for an American continuous-installment put option on zero-coupon bond is considered by Kim’s equations under a single factor model of the short-term interest rate, which follows the famous Vasicek model. In term of the price of this option, integral representations of both the optimal stopping and exercise boundaries are derived. A numerical method is used to approximate the optim...

In this paper, quadrature formulas on the real line with the highest degree of accuracy, with positive weights, and with one or two prescribed nodes anywhere on the interval of integration are characterized. As an application, the same kind of rules but with one or both (finite) endpoints being fixed nodes and one or two more prescribed nodes inside the interval of integration are derived. An e...
